What Loma Encantada Homeowners' Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

Loma Encantada is a subdivision in Santa Fe, New Mexico, developed as a multiple-family residential, low-density planned unit development. This document is the founding declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions for the homeowners' association, binding all owners of residential units and lots within the subdivision.

• What you own & maintain: You own your individual unit (including the land within its exterior walls, plus enclosed patios, balconies, garages, and carports) and are responsible for maintaining its exterior surfaces unless the association takes that over. The association owns and maintains the common property (roads, open space, recreational areas) and may also maintain and repair unit exteriors.
• Permitted use: Units may only be used as private, single-family residences. During construction and sales, the developer may use units as sales offices or storage. No signs or advertisements may be placed on unit exteriors or common property without association approval, except developer signs during sales.
• Architectural & exterior changes: No structural or exterior modifications to a unit are allowed without prior written association permission. This includes changes to garage parking capacity, attachment of visible fixtures or equipment, and installation of security alarms with audible signals. Antennas taller than two feet above the roofline require approval.
• Pets: Domestic household pets (dogs, cats, and similar) may be kept within a unit, subject to association regulations. Pets that cause a nuisance or unreasonable disturbance must be permanently removed within three days of written demand from the association. Commercial breeding or keeping of animals is prohibited.
• Parking & vehicles: Trucks, mobile homes, trailers, and similar vehicles may not be parked on common property except when loading/unloading, during service, or in designated areas. The association may designate exclusive parking spaces for each unit along common property roads.
• Assessments & fees: All members pay annual assessments (one equal share per unit or lot) and may be subject to special assessments for shortfalls or new improvements. If the association maintains a unit's exterior due to owner neglect, the cost is specially assessed to that owner. Assessments become personal debts and liens against the unit, subordinate only to tax liens and recorded first mortgages.
• Destruction & reconstruction: If a unit is partially or totally destroyed, the owner must remove debris and start rebuilding within six months. Rebuilding in a different design or with different materials requires association approval. If the owner fails to rebuild, the association may sell the unit or lot.
• Leasing & rentals: The declaration does not specify a minimum lease term or restriction on leasing. It states that owners may delegate their common property rights to family members and tenants who reside in the unit.
